Hi everyone, N00b here.
I have a question on graphic cards and AGP slots. Right now i am running an nvidia 100/200 32mb card, its about 3.5yrs old, so its time for a new one. I want to get in on the nvidia 6600gt. I have an ASUS motherboard which has a 4x AGP slot. The 6600gt card says that it Requires AGP 8x slot compliant motherboard:

Will this card work in a 4x slot? I obviously dont want to spend the money to find out that it wont work on my system.
Also, my old card is a PCI card, can i keep them both in for better performance, or will the old card just take away from the power of the newer card?
Thanks for the help.
